Re: [slim] Transporter - Sharing Digital Inputs on Squeezeboxes

If you have a SqueezeBox why not just rip the CD? Why do you need a CD
player?

Never done it myself, but I've seen reports that you can transmit SPDIF
over wireless video senders.

Yes, I did that and it works ... sort of. Just connect the SPDIF coax
output to the video input on the transmitter, and vice versa on the
receiver. The problem was that the audio dropped out whenever I walked
through the room and crossed the transmission path. That's why I finally
ditched the video transmitter and bought a wireless squeezebox.

Simple answer is no.  Sorry.

The digital input on the transporter is for direct input to the DAC. 
There is no mechanism to take that digital input signal and send it to
either Squeezebox Server or other Squeezeboxes via WiFi or LAN
connection.

I have SqueezeCenter running on a QNAP NAS. Can I still do this?

Let me explain what I am trying to achive:

I have a Squeezebox in my living room connected to my HiFi system which
has a DAC. I want to have a CD Transport with S/PDIF out sitting in a
HiFi system in another room (no option to have a wired connection) to
send the digital signal to my living room HiFi DAC for it to play.

If the Transporter could do what I was hoping it would do, i.e. play
the digital inputs through other Squeezebox's then I would be able to do
that.

Since it can't, what other options do I have?

If I can wirelessly transmit the S/PDIF signal then I can have the
transmitter conencted to the CD Transport and the receiver connected to
the DAC.

Thanks all for you inputs.
